We are members of both the British Kune Kune Pig Society and the British Pig Association. All our stock is vaccinated, registered and we can provide pedigree certificates with each pig purchased. We started off with just two gilts as pets but were so taken by them that we decided to breed. Having had experience of breeding with our Angora goats we knew what we were taking on. However, before embarking on a field full of pigs, if you're not sure, it's always best to buy a couple as pets (maybe castrated weaners), learning all about their habits and behaviour will give you confidence and help you decide whether you'd like to take more on. Kune Kune pigs thrive on human company and if you buy them whilst still young they are quite easy to train. We have many of our customers coming back with stories of how well they respond to daily routines and how the piglets join in with other members of the family and fit in very well with the pet dog too. They will of course need a home to sleep in. They are very clean animals as they never soil inside their arks, making cleaning much easier. They will require straw as bedding and will eat vegetables and fruit especially if it's straight off the tree. Their housing can be any shape and size, they don't mind, as long as it's cosy.
We would encourage you to see them in their environment, and consider if this change in lifestyle is for you. Please feel free to contact either myself (Julie) or my husband Alan for a chat or better still arrange a visit to see

Welcome to the Brambles Kune Kune Pigs section of our web site. If you have now decided the time is right to invest in some pigs either as pets or for breeding Alan and Julie would love to share their knowledge and experiences of doing both.
Provide access to fresh water daily and during the summer months they usually need a wet muddy area known as a wallow, if they don't have one they will up turn their water troughs and make their own.
